Kid Koala’s Satellite Concert

An Innovative Collection of Dreamy Atmospheric Tracks

Kid Koala will present an innovative collection of dreamy, atmospheric tracks composed especially for this event. In this latest live experience the audience is seated at stations equipped with a turntable, effects box and a small crate of colour coded vinyl records. Through subtle coloured lighting changes in the room, the audience is cued to play along. The audience is an integral part of the show , accompanying Kid Koala to create an "ambient vinyl orchestra," melding their individual strains into a fluid body of sound. The idea is to have 60 harmonized turntables create a unique, uplifting, dynamic evening of light and music.

A NOTE FROM KID KOALA
“I came up with the concept for Satellite, a show in which audience members will participate in creating these musical pieces live each night. Each person is seated at a turntable station, playing their own custom Satellite Orchestra Tone Vinyl records and an effect pedal designed by Earthquaker Devices. The audience becomes an ambient vinyl orchestra and an integral component to the soundtrack as the story unfolds. “
